How it works

Three steps and one written figure

  1. Tell us the home

    Bedrooms, what you want packed and photos or a quick video walk-round. That is enough to size a Barnes pack without anyone visiting.

  2. Fixed quote and box plan

    Packer count, hours and every box, roll and cover in one figure, with London Borough of Richmond upon Thames parking for the materials drop already sorted.

  3. Packed and labelled

    Room by room, fragiles wrapped individually, inventory handed over, plus unpacking and box collection in SW13 where booked.

Why us

Why Barnes books our packers and books them again

Insurance-valid packing

Professionally packed boxes are claimable under goods-in-transit cover. Owner-packed boxes usually are not, because no insurer can verify what went in or how it was wrapped. That is the honest reason to book.

All materials included and delivered ahead

Double-wall boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, tape, mattress and sofa covers and wardrobe boxes on loan — inside the price, dropped days before, never itemised afterwards.

Labelling that survives the unload

Source room, destination room, contents and a fragile flag on four sides, plus a numbered inventory, so the right boxes end up in the right rooms and nothing is opened at random.

Patient downsizing packs in Barnes

Downsizing is sorting as much as packing. We work at your pace, keep donation boxes running alongside the keep boxes, and label so a smaller home can be unpacked in stages rather than all at once.

Homes heavy with books, china or artwork are priced honestly up front rather than surprised at the end.

Box plan

How many boxes a Barnes home needs about 56–94 boxes

Sized for Barnes: homes across Richmond upon Thames average 2.79 bedrooms (ONS Census 2021) and 45.7% of Barnes homes are flats, so this is the plan a typical SW13 pack actually needs. Every box, roll and cover in it is inside the quoted price.

  • Kitchen11–18

    Cell-divided cartons for glass, plates packed on edge, pans in mediums.

  • Living room and books14–24

    Books in small boxes only — nothing over 20kg on a London staircase.

  • Bedrooms and wardrobes12–20

    Hanging clothes straight into wardrobe boxes on loan, drawers into larges.

  • Bathroom, hallway and study6–10

    Liquids bagged and boxed separately, cables and tech in one labelled carton.

  • Fragiles — china, glass, art, mirrors5–9

    Wrapped individually in paper, then bubble, then boxed with corner protection.

  • Loft, garage and shed8–13

    Usually a third of the total again, and the part most quotes forget to count.

About the place

Packing in Barnes what it actually involves

Working in Barnes means a village around a duck pond inside a loop of the Thames, with the wetland centre nearby. Barnes (South Western) is the crew's meeting point, with mortlake-sw14, putney-sw15, roehampton-sw15 on the same round. Barnes, around The WWT London Wetland Centre, is settled ownership — 56.7% of homes are owner-occupied and the median age is 41.4. Packs here are sorting as much as wrapping: decades of contents, a loft nobody has emptied and a smaller home waiting. We run donation boxes alongside the keep boxes and label so unpacking can happen in stages.

Area at a glance

Barnes SW13 by the numbers

Bedrooms, housing type and how long people stay are what decide a box count — so the pack is priced from the home, not the postcode. These are the published Census 2021 figures for the Mortlake & South Barnes and North Barnes neighbourhood itself — not Richmond upon Thames-wide averages, and not estimates.

Worth Hiring for Moving services These guys have made my work so easy, they took care of all the items, packed it nicely and they got a big van which was sufficient enough to move my stuffs. I have recently shifted to Kingston and happy to call them for services when needed. Cheers!

Wanted a one off deep clean. The team were extremely thorough and I could not find anything that missed. Cleaned to a high standard and were very patient with us as I had to hold up their work while I moved boxes around due the my house move.
